Red Bull designer Adrian Newey confirmed that the RB7 indeed exceeded the limits by "just a hair or something, just a tiny bit over".

"Obviously if we had known there was a safety concern about it, we wouldn't have done it."

Hembery denied the situation was ever a safety concern, but it is believed Pirelli's recommendation has nonetheless been lowered to between 3.5 and 4 degrees for Monza and beyond.

This weekend could be particularly critical, given that the high speed nature of the Monza circuit can see - according to Pirelli - the "contact patch ... increase to three times its (normal) size" on the straights.

And while the focus was on the Red Bulls at Spa, it is also true that McLaren's Lewis Hamilton had to start the Belgian race with blisters on his tires.
